Start with one flow
Pick the flow that creates the most rework: quotation to order, order to dispatch, job status, or student enquiry to enrolment. A system that tries to replace every register at once will be ignored.
Kanpur
Software for Kanpur businesses, built from Lucknow.
Kanpur is one of Uttar Pradesh's main industrial and trading cities, and it is close enough to Lucknow that the business day is identical. Sunbeam does not have a Kanpur office. We serve manufacturers, trading houses, education organisations and other local firms remotely: websites, operational systems, automation and knowledge tools around the work they already do.
Served remotely from Lucknow. Kanpur shares India Standard Time. There is no Sunbeam office in the city.
The city
Kanpur's work is physical. The software should respect that.
Kanpur's economy is broader than any single industry, and it is still shaped by production and trade: leather and textiles have a long history here, alongside engineering goods, smaller manufacturers, wholesale trade, education and healthcare. IIT Kanpur anchors a technical institution on the edge of that commercial city. The businesses we are useful to are usually the ones with goods, orders, jobs or students moving every day, and a back office trying to keep the record straight.
The failure mode is familiar. Production or dispatch knows one status. Sales has promised another. Accounts is waiting on a sheet that was updated last night. A website exists so that a buyer from outside the city can find the firm, and it has not been touched since the catalogue changed. None of that requires a fashionable product. It requires a system that matches the way the floor and the office actually hand work to each other.
Because we are in Lucknow and you are in Kanpur, we will not pretend to be on the industrial estate. We learn the operation from the people who run it, from samples of the current sheets and tools, and from a structured walkthrough. If seeing a process in Lucknow would help and your team can travel, we can meet there. The build itself is remote.
Time overlap
The same hour in both cities.
Kanpur and Lucknow both use India Standard Time, UTC+5:30, all year. There is no overlap problem to design around. A review at 16:00 is 16:00 for both sides.
Use that for the conversations that need a decision: what the dispatch screen must show, which status is allowed to change, who is allowed to see a price. Day-to-day build updates can stay in writing so production staff are not pulled into status meetings.
Shop-floor reality
If the person who knows the process is rarely at a desk, we plan shorter calls and a written record they can check between shifts.
Same-day answers
Questions asked in the morning can be resolved the same day. We still batch them so the engineering time is spent building, not waiting in a chat.
Remote delivery
A remote build for a hands-on business.
Remote delivery works in Kanpur when we are honest about what we can see. We cannot absorb a plant by visiting it every week. We can model the decisions the software has to support, test them with the people who do the work, and ship something small enough to try on real orders.
Keep the tools that work
Accounts packages, spreadsheets and email often stay. We integrate or replace a tool when the current one is the source of the error, and we say so before building a parallel system.
Leave it operable
Your staff should be able to run the system without us on a call. Access, hosting and source stay with you, with a short handover that names how a change gets made later.
Services that fit
Services that fit Kanpur.
Industrial and trading firms usually start with a business system or a clearer public site. Automation and knowledge tools follow once the core record is trustworthy.
Websites and digital products
A buyer outside Kanpur needs to understand what you make or sell, and how to enquire, without a phone call for every basic fact. We build and rebuild those sites, including catalogue-style structures and the technical base for search.
Business systems
Order, inventory, job and customer views are the systems that earn their place here. Dashboards are designed around a decision, such as what is late or what is short, rather than a wall of charts. ERP-shaped work starts by asking whether an integration or a focused module is enough.
Automation, including AI
Status messages, document routing and the transfer of an order from one tool to another are the automations that match this market. AI is a candidate for reading repetitive documents or drafting a reply from approved material, with a person checking anything that commits the business.
Knowledge systems
Quality steps, quoting rules and 'how we do this job' often live with a supervisor. Capturing that as searchable guidance helps a new hire and reduces repeated questions. It depends on real source material from your team. We will not invent your process and then encode it.
The wider practice
Lucknow is the studio. These services are available to clients here and anywhere else we work.

Local questions
Frequently asked questions.
Do you have an office in Kanpur?
No. Sunbeam is based in Lucknow and serves Kanpur remotely.
Is the time difference a problem?
There is no time difference. Kanpur and Lucknow both use India Standard Time.
Can you build software for a factory or a trading firm?
Yes, when the problem is a workflow, a record or a customer-facing product. We start with one operational flow and we will recommend a simpler change if software is not the right first move.
Do you build websites for Kanpur businesses?
Yes. We build and redesign business websites and web applications, including the structure a buyer needs in order to enquire with the right information.
Can you work with our existing accounts software?
We look at what it can safely share. If an integration would be brittle, we say so and propose a narrower connection or a different approach.
How do we start from Kanpur?
Message us at [email protected] with the operation that is slowing the business down, who runs it, and what you use today. We reply from Lucknow.
